Sleepless nights
Battling myself with all my might
Just wanna cue the lights
Without having to fight,

Don't know what I'm worried about anymore
Tend to push some people that love me straight out the door,
I gotta problem, I admit it
And that's why I'm still awake in the dead of night, isn't it?

Not taking a risk is what cowards do
And I guess I'm just one of the few,
Cuz it seems to me everybody else got their **** figured out
Hiding behind a phone in a virtual crowd
Facebook Twitter Insta ya see
I've rarely seen someone's life look better than from a screen,

In high school I swore I had my **** figured out
Til I got to college and ******* broke down
Pushed away most of my friends somehow
All because of my own ******* self-doubt

But god ****** I think I'm on the right track now
Making some good strides and I oughta be proud
Cuz a year ago, I wanted to throw it all out

I felt lost and alone
In a place I refused to call home,
Talking to my mom everyday
Didn't take the pain away,
And I felt better when I was numb
What the **** did I become

But now I'm able to see
I got no problems just being me
And I don't wanna impress anybody from their screens
No matter how hard it may be
I'm just tryna chase my dreams
